Video Title: $150 Super Tuesday Tournament Review
Coach: Tony “Bond18” Dunst
Video Description:
In this week’s free, full-length poker strategy video for Card Player Pro, poker professional Tony “Bond18” Dunst reviews a deep run in the $150 Super Tuesday tournament on PokerStars. (Warning: Video contains profanity.) Bond18 recaps all the important hands using a poker odds calculator to analyze some close all-in calls.

Discussion Point:
And We Look Down and See Two Kings…
This is a rather simple spot, but one people tend to disagree about. What’s your take?
A highlight of the video comes at the 4:00 mark, when Tony finds himself in a unique spot with pocket kings. It’s early on in the $150 buy-in Super Tuesday tournament on PokerStars, and the player UTG+1 opens the pot to 90 with 15-30 blinds. The action folds to the player in the hijack (two from the button) who reraises to 300. The table folds around to Bond18, who looks down to see K

Stack Sizes:
UTG+1: 2,925 (~97 Big Blinds)
Hijack: 2,885 (~96 Big Blinds)
Bond18: 2,850 (~96 Big Blinds)
What should Bond18 do? What do you think is the best play in this situation?
Should he reraise his kings and fold if someone else goes all in? Should he raise in hopes of getting all in before the flop? Should he flat-call and slow-play his kings to keep the first player in the pot? Should he even consider folding his kings?
Watch now to see how Tony played his kings as part of this free, full-length training video.
